9 NANOFORUM 2009 MESSAGE OF THE PROMOTING COMMITTEE COORDINATOR Nanotechnologies are ever more a reality. Though nanoscience dates back to the birth period of quantum mechanics ( ), offering the deepest key-concept enabling its technological exploitation: quantum confinement, only rather recently the first significant conscious nanoapplications have become available. I say conscious as an unaware usage of amazing nanoparticle properties can be found in the stained glass windows of ancient cathedrals. In the last years the word nanotechnology attained a wide audience mainly through some newspaper articles, among which both very good pieces of scientific popularization and rather fanciful rubbish. The proper citation of Richard Feynman s talk There is plenty of room at the bottom (1959) always present. Although most people are aware only of the title, the reading of that speech is a stimulating experience even today and the content could perfectly fit the spirit of nanoforum: a strict connection between basic research and relevant industrial applications. In his prophetic lecture Feynman foresaw, among other things, the direct manipulation of individual atoms as a new method of chemical synthesis. As I already wrote in the last year introduction, the youngest delegates of nanoforum 2009 could hardly fully realize how revolutionary was Feynman s dream at that time, mainly for the technologists. Just to make an instance, since 1982, with an impressive growth of new achievements, the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) allows imaging and manipulation of individual atoms. Besides making possible to check the quantum theories of atomic structure of surfaces, this new microscopic tool is also a useful device both for materials science and engineering and for emerging nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine. Direct imaging and manipulation of atoms is only an important instance among the many obtained results. To cite less exotic applications, even grace to excellent national research, we hope to see in the next years OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diods) substituting convential bulbs in automotive applications, quantum dots photovoltaic cells, nanoparticle drug delivery and other new technological products limited only by nature laws and designer creativity. As for the previous editions, nanoforum 2009 also wants to put forward the message that several nanotechnologies are ready as present, not only future, crucial industrial technologies. You will see that in the conference. Carlo Enrico Bottani Politecnico di Milano, Coordinator of the Promoting Committee Carlo Bottani PROMOTING COMMITTEE COORDINATOR nanoforum 2009 _ 09

13 NANOFORUM 2009 POLYTECHNIC OF TURIN Nanoforum has reached its fifth edition. We are glad to have the meeting for the first time in Turin and to be one of the main supporter of the initiative from the scientific point of view. Since the first edition in 2005 the meeting has shown a growing trend that will be confirmed also this year with the new location in Torino Incontra Center. Nanoforum is confirmed as the main Italian meeting point to promote the new possibilities offered by nanotechnologies and to foster the process of technological transfer from the academic world to industry. It is an important occasion to know the state of art at world level and to establish contacts with Italian and foreign researchers. The location in Piemonte is supported by several reasons. The Region has been a hub for technical innovation in recent decades with automotive industry, mechanics, robotics, ICT, aerospace, food industry. More recently it has diversified its economy towards sectors related to the economy of knowledge. It focused on R&D activities and invested in strategic sectors like life science, renewable energy, new materials, environmental technologies logistics, pharmaceutics, healthcare. Innovations in knowledge and technology constitute the determinative element for the development and well-being of society in this new century. All the recent progress in the sciences of life, health, nutrition, environment, information, material and energy, have in common the study and comprehension of physical and biophysical phenomena at the smallest scale, i.e. those of the super-molecular systems, molecules, atoms and atomic structures. There is no sector which can prospectively withdraw from the challenges of investigation, knowledge and the exploitation of the most minute atomic structures. The Micro and Nanotechnologies offer the possibility of projecting and introducing innovations at the scale where the falling back on characteristics and performances of products develop their maximum potentialities. Development of knowledge and of technologies at the nanoscale is determining a revolution in our ways of conceiving, projecting and achieving products and innovative systems. All the sectors of traditional industry will be strongly influenced by the nanotechnology revolution. With these ideas Politecnico, through the synergy of interdisciplinary competencies of its Departments and Labs, has made big efforts to reach the state of art at world level in several sectors where nanotechnologies can be developed or applied. This year more than 20 official delegations from USA, Japan, Sweden, Swiss, France, Russia, China, India, Korea, Singapore will be present thanks to ICE support. The delegates are interested in contacts with Italian industries and with Italian researchers supporting the idea of the quality of our research system.politecnico will provide the scientific supports in the organization of several sessions and tutorials. Moreover two Satellite Events focused on Nanomedicine Research and Formation in Nanotechnology fields will be organized and we are sure they will be important occasions of meeting and comparison at the highest level. I want to close this introduction with some acknowledgments to Regione Piemonte, to Camera di Commercio di Torino, to all the Piemonte Research and Academic system for the support which made the organization of Nanoforum 2009 possible.

15 NANOFORUM 2009 ICE CAPITAL GOODS AND HI-TECH DIVISION It is a very great privilege and pleasure for the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade-ICE to participate with an international delegation at the Fifth edition of nanoforum 2009, organized by ITER in Turin from 9 th to 11 th June. Over the last few years, the Italian nanotechnology sector has shown an impressive growth, mainly driven by several highly specialized small and medium enterprises: newly created start-up or spin-off from the industry of microelectronics, new materials, aerospace, and pharmaceutical, and it is set to continue expanding in the future. The high potential of the Italian innovative nanotechnology sector depends on the following key factors: great interest on nanotechnology from typical Made in Italy market sectors and the strong commitment of both public and private research centers. Needless to say, the interaction between production and research plays a crucial role for a competitive and successful nanotechnology industry. ICE is aware of the importance of nanotechnology for the Italian industry and it has developed a specific programme to support the sector s growth, the penetration into foreign markets and the technology transfer between research centres and private companies. Ferdinando Fiore Head of ICE Capital Goods and Hi-tech Division, ICE Rome This Special Project for the Development of Nanotechnology has the financial support of the Italian Ministry for Economic Development and it is planned in collaboration with AIRI Nanotec.it, the Italian Centre for Nanotechnology and with representatives from the major Italian nanotech clusters, in order to establish common strategies. This action plan includes a wide range of initiatives, among which participation at the major international Conventions, organization of seminars and workshops abroad, missions of foreign experts and entrepreneurs to Italy - aimed at creating technological partnership between Italian and foreign companies in the nanotechnology sector. For the Edition 2009, ICE has identified and will host a highly qualified foreign delegation selected by ICE offices abroad. The delegates represent Companies, Research Centres and Laboratories operating in seven emerging and dynamic nanotech markets: Korea, India, Japan, Russian Federation, Singapore, Sweden and the United States of America. The Italian visitors at nanoforum will consequently have the opportunity to meet international experts during the exhibition at ICE Focal Point and in one-on-one scheduled meetings. Finally a speaker selected from every country, will illustrate the state-of-the-art technologies and the market trends during the conference session. On this occasion I wish to all participants and visitors to enjoy the conference and exchange their experience, establishing new contacts and expanding their own network.

16 NANOFORUM 2009 ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI RICERCA METROLOGICA (INRIM) On 1st January 2006 the Istituto Elettrotecnico Nazionale Galileo Ferraris (IEN) and the Istituto di Metrologia Gustavo Colonnetti (IMGC) merged to establish the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM). INRIM is the national public body with the task of carrying out and promoting scientific research in metrology. With the handover of the tasks of primary metrology institute previously assigned to IMGC and IEN, INRIM has become the focus of most scientific metrology activities in Italy (except for the field of ionising radiation, where ENEA-INMRI maintains its role). Its research activities in measurement science, materials science and innovative technologies are recognised at world-wide level. INRIM carries out studies and researches on the realization of primary standards for the basic and derived units of the International System of units (SI), assures the maintenance of such standards, their international comparison and in general provides measurements traceability to the SI. In addition to physical and engineering metrology, its main R&D areas are in fundamental physical constants, materials, metrology for chemistry and health, nanotechnology, innovation, quantum information and artificial vision. Furthermore INRIM: undertakes, promotes and coordinates scientific and technological research projects, often in cooperation with the European Union and international bodies, both through resources of its own and through programs of collaboration with universities and other national or international public and private organisations; promotes and coordinates the participation of Italian representatives in international bodies, projects and initiatives, and supplies scientific expertise and advisory services; carries out communication and promotion activities concerning research, and circulates its economic and social results on a national scale; promotes the technical and professional education and growth of its staff and personnel, also by awarding scholarships and supporting PhD theses; provides technical and consultancy services to other scientific bodies, public administrations, companies or other private organisations, and provides high level calibration services to third parties under private law; operates independently the national accreditation body for calibration laboratories (SIT). INRIM has its main premises in Torino, Strada delle Cacce 91, and operational centres in Politecnico of Torino and University of Pavia. 16_ nanoforum 2009

17 NANOFORUM 2009 ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI RICERCA METROLOGICA (INRIM) Nanoforum represents for Turin and Piedmont an intriguing opportunity to show to national and international audience research results and latest achievements in the emerging field of nanotechnology. Several Piedmontese institutions, like academies, research centres and private companies are working in this field since the mid 90s. INRIM, for instance, has a solid tradition of basic and applied research in the field of precision measurements, standards, nanostructured materials and micro and nanodevices. Prof. Elio Bava President INRIM The motivation of a metrological institute like INRIM to investigate the field of nanotechnology is the need to link the metrological standard units to the fundamental constants of universe, by means of a deep comprehension of quantum mechanics and nanoscale phenomena. This connection assures the temporal and spatial invariance of standards, while the knowledges in nanotechnology and nanoscience can guarantee measurement resolution and accuracy unreachable by other methods. Nowadays at INRIM an efficient development of basic research is essential, in particular in nanotechnology, also through cooperation and exchanges with European academies, research centres and industries. The opportunity offered by Nanoforum is therefore deeply appreciated by our researchers and technicians. Professor Elio Bava PRESIDENT INRIM Turin, May 2009 nanoforum 2009 _ 17
